A 21-year-old sales representative, Aminat Oluwole, on Friday appeared in a Tinubu Chief Magistrates’ Court, Lagos State for allegedly stealing N223,000 belonging to MultiChoice.
The police charged Oluwole, whose address was not provided, with two counts fraudulent conversation of money and theft.
The Prosecution Counsel, ASP Ben Ekundayo, told the court that the defendant committed the offence from May to July, 2020 at the MultiChoice franchise, 133, Ahmadu Bello Way, Victoria Island, Lagos.

The defendant, however, pleaded not guilty.
